Don't get sidetracked from telling JTF that he's a dickhole.

Generally? Yes. However, this situation has passed my statute of giveafuckitations.

The past few days have been abnormally good for me. I don't know what it is, but I'm actually quite cheery recently. The forums are more active than usual, I'm almost done with Solaris (best novel ever), and I had a CCR marathon yesterday which always makes me happy.

Solaris is amazing.
Is the English translation well done?
For some reason the only available German translation of Solaris is terrible, as if a monkey did it. Too bad, since I'd love to let some German fiends read it.

I don't speak Polish, but it's a fantastic novel. I'd say it's a very well done translation. You know how pickly I am when rating novels despite my optimism? I use a 1-100 scale, and it's fairly rare I give a 100 to a novel. This is 200, and that's the Engish translation. I'm not joking. Best novel I ever read beforehand wad Frankenstein, and this is literally twice as good.

Yeah, it's pretty mindblowing. And while it's Lem's best, his other stuff is absolutely worth checking out as well.

I read Solaris pretty recently too. Big fan of Tarkovsky's dialogue when it's printed at the bottom of the screen.

Subtitles were nevr very distracting for me. I mean, even if it is distracting, I still greatly enjoy the show.
